About this cabin rental

Escape the city and experience being surrounded by tall pine trees and clear, starry nights. Close to the lake, this lovely cabin is located on the quiet north side of the lake in Fawnskin, away from the hectic town environment, yet a short drive to the ski slopes and other winter activities. In summer, the north side is the best location for access to bike paths, hiking trails, and boat & kayak launches.

It features two bedrooms plus a loft with a pull-out sofa. Free WIFI, huge front deck and plenty of parking space off the road. A fully fenced back yard.

Located in the San Bernardino National Forest, complete with forest critters, trash must be secured. Keep in mind you are in a forest setting with wild animals such as bears, coyotes, raccoons, etc. Never leave young children unattended, even in the fenced back yard.


This cabin is located in a quiet, family neighborhood. If you are seeking a party house, this is NOT for you. The community has strict good neighbor regulations. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Excessive noise, amplified music, and/or unruly behavior has severe consequences, including a $500 fine for a first offense; $1,000 fine for a second offense. My policy is immediate eviction if law enforcement is contacted.

Parking for up to three vehicles on the circular driveway. Parking on the street is prohibited by the city to allow space for snow plows.

Sorry, no pets. Only certified service dogs excepted.

Renting a cabin in the mountains is not like renting a house in the city. Weather conditions can change dramatically in the mountains. While rare, if there are power outages, highway closures, severe weather warnings, or fire alerts I receive them on my phone. Therefore, I must have rapid, direct communication with my guests. As a condition of renting this property, I MUST have a valid working phone number for texts and/or voice contact. Any guests unwilling to provide a valid number, or communicate by text will not be accepted.

The steps are steep and carrying food and supplies up-and-down the stairs was hard on my knees. Cabin had a weird, sour smell when entering or after being closed up, but after opening windows, the smell left. There seems to be a lot of rules to follow, but they all make sense when staying in a remote cabin. Sharon was quick to respond to my text messages. Had some difficulty with continual hot water dripping in tub, and CO2 monitor chirping all night. Quiet street. Nice get-away. Kitchen had everything we needed. First floor bedroom mattress comfortable. No fans available in house. Pine trees give off a fine mist of sap that got all over my car. Had to wash off immediately when we got home before it hardened. We really enjoyed our time here.

A wonderful cabin for a mountain getaway. Two stories, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen and laundry. Wood fireplace and balcony. Surrounded by tall pine trees in a quiet neighborhood. Fawnskin is Big Bear for people who don’t like the crowds of Big Bear. I don’t think our weekend could’ve been any better.
